Are you ready for anything? NO. Because you don't have this truck. If you're man enough for it, this truck is a zombie killing off-road monster.
Pound for pound, and dollar for dollar, there is no better truck on the market to meet YOUR needs. Designed to excel in the Amazon, the Sahara, The mountains, or the Outback, This truck was built from the ground up to tackle anything, Equipped With a Safari guard steel front bumper made of plate steel forged in the fires of Mt doom, This thing has a winch mount, deflector plate, and a brush guard for when you need to smash through the woods, or the traffic in a hurry. Rock sliders for when the almost 18" of side clearance isn't enough. Oversized off road tires ensure traction in even the harshest mud bogs or snow covered mountainsides. Raised on heavy duty lifted suspension, there's hardly an obstacle on the planet you won'e be ready to tackle. A Steel roof rack fit for the toughest of men. What do you need a epic roof rack for? if you're asking that question, you're not man enough for this car put your gear on top. put your boat on top. put TWO couches on top, Camp on top. And, a ladder to access all that. Does it have four wheel drive? It ONLY has four wheel drive. Four different settings of it. Class IV trailer hitch to haul your tractor through the backwoods, and a winch mount so you can pull all those other wimpy cars on the road out of the snow and mud when they get stuck. With a factory jump seat installed in back, this truck seats 6, So you're ready to take your whole assault team on your next mission. How many head lights does it have? 2? 4? 6? no. EIGHT. So you're ready to light up the night. Perfect for blazing trails through the middle of nowhere, or scaring off your enemies, like zombies, or just leave them on so you can work late into the night. Did you forget to turn all those lights off last night? Battery dead in the morning? No big deal, the truck's got an extra. With the flip of a switch, you can jump yourself. Whether i was tearing up a field, blasting through mud bogs, pulling E-350 Vans out of ditches or snow, This truck was ready. Whether I was hauling a hundred boards of lumber, camping in the backwoods or hauling a trailer, This truck can handle it. I've driven it through feet solid of snow and seen 3 axle municipal snow plow vehicles stuck and i kept going. If it can be done, this truck can do it. Loyal to me for 10 years, this Beast of a machine never left me stranded. And with just a little work, this tank is ready for anything. Now for the bad: A/C needs a recharge, Steering Stabilizer needs to be replaced (included) Rust/hole in jamb at rear doors, Cruise control vacuum needs leak repaired, Power steering leaks, Rear windows open intermittently, Computer faults cause dash (engine) lights, Does not pass cook county emissions test. Antilock sensors failing, Handbrake sensor failing. Folding seats lock up occasionally. As a bonus: I will include all the spare parts I've accumulated over 10 years of land rover ownership including an extra alternator, differential, radio, stabilizer bar, steering dampener, Air Filter housing, relays, spare tire cover, and more. |

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?
Tue, 01 Jul 2014At the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend, Land Rover previewed its upcoming performance version of the Range Rover Sport. Only instead of wearing the R-S badge that adorns the most hardcore of Jaguar models, the performance SUV from JLR's Special Operations unit introduced the letters SVR. And now, it seems that badge is here to stay.
Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, a new report from Motor Authority now says that Jaguar Land Rover will use those letters to distinguish the top-of-the-line performance models from both marques moving forward. As such, we might expect SVR models of the upcoming Jaguar XE compact sedan and Land Rover Discovery Sport, as well as potential new performance models based on the new F-Type and next-generation XF.
If accurate, the move would seem to separate Jaguar in particular from the R-S badge that has adorned performance models like the XFR-S and XKR-S. Both Audi and Porsche use the letters RS to distinguish its most hardcore models as well (e.g. Audi RS7 Sportback and Porsche 911 GT3 RS). Whether the similarity was a factor in shifting to the SVR moniker, we don't know, but either way, we welcome the arrival of a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover performance models - especially if they pack the 575-horsepower version of the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Not incidentally, that delicious powerplant gained a couple of new engine bays to call home at Goodwood as well - it's not just found in the forthcoming Range Rover Sport SVR, it's found a home in the F-Type Project 7, too.
